Vista - message stuck in outbox

11-17-2008

Do you get an error message when you try to send? If so, right-click
on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Had the same problem

not to mention infinite other problems with Windows Mail when outlook

I used a program called WMUtil, worked perfectly, now the outbox is cleared
and mails come and go freely

download again; got message that I couldn't.)
